6.1 earthquake jolts California’s Bay Area

The biggest Bay Area earthquake in a quarter-century rattled the region early Sunday morning, with a 6.1 shaker destroying buildings in Napa County, causing dozens of injuries, knocking out power to tens of thousands of buildings and tossing items from shelves in homes and stores.

The quake woke up nervous locals when it was reported at 3:20 a.m., with an epicenter between Napa and American Canyon about 6.7 miles below the surface, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Bay Area residents from Santa Cruz area to the Wine Country were affected by the so-called South Napa Earthquake, with more than 10,000 people across more than 200 miles quickly reporting that they had felt the rumble, the USGS reported.
